About this map

Fort Grant (State Industrial School) anchors the southwestern corner of this topographic study, where the desert floor meets the rising slopes of the Pinaleno Mountains. The map reveals a complex high-altitude landscape within the Coronado National Forest, transitioning from the Goudy Canyon floor up to the prominent Webb Peak and its associated Lookout Tower.

Evidence of early mountain industry and recreation is scattered throughout the peaks, including the Mt Graham Mill Site and seasonal hubs like Old Columbine and Horse Camp. Water sources are vital features in this arid environment, ranging from the developed Riggs Lake and its Riggs Flat Recreation Area to more remote points like Emerald Spring and Carter Sawmill Spring. Movement through the high country is dictated by a network of pack trails and the Swift Trail, which provides access to vantage points such as Ft Grant Vista Point.
